Quirky obsessions

[cheekygirl75]

Is it weird to love the sound a particular brand of paper makes when you turn the pages after you’ve used it for a length of time~~asking for a friend. It’s that slight crinkle noise - anyone else like that noise?

No, not weird at all! I listen to paper ASMR sometimes - it’s just all people turning pages - and I have definite favorite types of paper.

I don’t know if I could like more than I do now! Paper ASMR is sooooo good.

I am mildly obsessed with orderliness in fiction. If I'm interested in a book series, film series, etc., I always go back to the start and read/view them in order.

I like old book paper. It falls apart when you turn the pages.

I still hang calendars through my house,usually 3 or 4.

Old school I reckon lol.

I cringe when someone opens a book wide. Breaking the spine, especially in paperbacks.

The most my books are opened is around 45 degrees. I've books I've had 40+ years that still look brand new.

I do that… I can’t stand not being able to see both pages With paper backs, sometimes I’ll even fold one side behind to make it easier to hold.

Me too.. well, it is not often that I fold the side behind, but.. Sometimes?

Also, the wear and tear of the books, that only reminds me of the cosy time I spent reading them.

I can't stand people dog-earing the corner of a page to act as a bookmark. Come on, folks, there is always something you can use!

Notebooks. It's ridiculous at this point, but I can't stop obsessing over notebooks. I LOVE notebooks.

Oooh, I have a stationary fixation, too. And I think @Shymidwestgirl could relate

That contradicts the way you flit around the threads

Dumb tech rabbit holes,

Do I stream or make youtube videos, no
Do I have all the gear and set up for a second stream pc with stream deck and such Yes,

Do I need to take apart and modify random guitars bought from charity shops, No
Do I do it, swap out all the pickups, re-solder, change all the bits and donate them yes

Do I have time to do these things, no
Do I do them anyway, yes

 

[MiloMcLeod]

I own about 20 cups and mugs but only ever use the same one. The rest just aren’t as good

 

[mickyp123]

People who open the fridge/freezer take something and walk away leaving the door open

I posted something similar in the What Are you Thinking thread, but the fact that I'm posting again, I suppose, demonstrates why it's here. I drink a lot less beer than I used to. And I no longer steal beer glasses, like I used to. But I'm now thinking that I need a bigger beer glass collection because I love making an iced latte and drinking it out of a beer glass.

When getting dressed:

Left sock, right sock, left shoe, right shoe.

Every single time. Any other order feels weird.

It may have been said by someone else already, but I am a triple checker on locking doors when leaving home, work, etc.
